There is something very suggestive in the proclamation just issued by General Canby, announcing the names of the persons elected to fill the executive and legislative branches of the government of South Caro lina. As we read down the long list of r3enators and Reprasentatives we wonder -that has become of the old names, and what is the portent' of the new. South Carolina, least among the tribes of the South in terri tory and numbers, was the very head and soul of the wonderful political power which, through successive generations, ruled among the slave States and in the councils of the nation. The names of the men who ruled this little State, and so controlled to a great extent the destinies of the whole people, were - familiar to all American ears. From father to son,the old SouthCarolins families handed down political power with the paternal es T tates, and it was to this "close corporation' system that the pernicious doctrines of seces sion and rebellion chiefly owed their success ful growth. The Pickerings, Mannings, Haynes, Rhetts, Barnwells, Hammonds, Rutledges, Hamiltons, . Hamptons, Izards, were household names not only at the South, but among all who were at all accustomed to watch the currents of public affairs• But in General. Canby's proclamation we look in vain for these familiar names. There are Smiths and Johnsons and Thomases. There are Thompsons and O'Connells and Doyles. There are Joneses and Jacobses and Jacksons. There are Brown§ and Whites and Grays. But only here and there is there a trace of the old names that were wont to lord it over the sacred soil of South Carolina. There is a strong infusion of a very suggestive plantation nomenclature. There are three Caths,and two Moseses. There are Sanchos, and Princes, and Bostons, and Esops, and Junes, and from Beaufort there is Robert Small, well known at the North. These are great changes for South Carolina, but they are changes not to be regretted, either for the State itself, or for the country at large. That the State where the rebellion was born and nurtured should have its own social and po litical foundations upheaved and overturned, is a fitting retribution for its great crime. But it is a far higher consideration that this change indicates that the most purely aristo cratic of the slave States has become practi cally republicanized. The government has passed out of the control of the traditional, hereditary rulers, and has been vested among the working people. Doubtless, there is far less of education, of elegance, of wealth, of social rank among the new senators and leg islators of South Carolina, than in the "good old slave days." But equally doubtless is it that there is an earnest patriotism, a deep concern for the improvement of the common people, an honest regard for the prosperity,of the State and the honor and stability of the Union. There is neither the ability nor the desire to plot political intrigues and to grasp at undue powers in the affairs of the nation. There will be much crude and unwise legisla tiOn at first,but the schoolmaster is at work in South Carolina, and among a people as able as they are willing to learn.. There, as in all society, the best intellect, the purest personal integrity, and the truest public honesty will find its way to the front, and among the now names on the rolls of South Carolina's public men will be found many who will be con fessed as better fitted to conduct the affairs of a free State of the American Republic than many of those who, for generations past,have wielded political power only to degrade the population which they kept ,under them, and to destroy the very fabric of the 'Union itself. BROAD STREET. South Broad street is henceforth to be free from the freight railroad cars that have been such a nuisance to the community, and that have so seriously interfered with the im provement of the grand avenue. Under the decision of the Supreme Court, announced in Saturday's BuLmag, parties interested went to work in the evening, and in a short time had the rails removed from the tracks between Chestnut and Walnut streets, thus summarily putting a stop to the further use of the road south of Olive street. The removal of the re maining rails and•the stone sleepers to which they are fastened, ought to follow rapidly, and then it is to be hoped that the Nicolson pavement will be substituted ibr the boulders and cobble-stones that will still keep the street unlit for pleasant travel. Although some temporary inconvenience may be caused by the hurried removal of the road, even the parties most opposed to it will find advantage in it. The coal dealers, who used the tracks most, will soon find their property greatly increased in value, and they will find places for their coal-yards that will cost little and be as convenient as those they now occupy. The sheds, stables, shanties and fences that now -disfigure a great part of the street, will soon be re moved, and on their sites fine mansions, churches, and other handsome buildings will rise. The whole sOuthern part of Brcid street will feel the impetus of improvement. Already we hear that a wealthy gentleman has purchased a lot on the corner of Reed street, on which to build a large and elegant Baptist—ektirch. There are also numerous fume dwellings projected south of the Balti more depot, 'which will now be pushed for ward rapidly. Under an amendment to the • charter of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Street Railroad Company, a passenger railway will be laid all the way to League Island, which will further promote the improvement of the adjacent property. The fact that South Broad Street is at , last to be freed from the nnisance.„„of the freight road, with its long trains of unsightly coal cars and their gangs of poor abused mules, is worth celebrating by a general jubilation. Let us hope that the good work thus begun will go on rapidly,and that before long North Broad Street will be in like manner rid of the nuisance, and the great avenue made free and delightful to travel on, from League Island to the northern border of the city. • THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CASE. The decision of the case of Mrs. McManus, who has thus gained a suit against the Board of Controllers for her certificate of election as the head of one of the male Grammar Schools, establishes a very important princi ple. Mrs. McManus, 'for many years, was a very competent teacher in one of the public schools, was elected principal of another school, and her certificate was refused by the Controllers on the single ground of her sex• The Court has decided that, under the exist ing laws, there is no ground for this refusal for such a reason; and it might have been ad ded that there is no ground for it, under the ordinary rules of common sense. It is perfectly competent for the Board of Controllers to decide whether any particular woman is qualified to conduct a school of bo'ys, and in the large majority of cases the decision would probably be ad verse to the applicant. But to take it for granted that because she is a woman she cannot superintend the government and edu cation of boys it an absurdity which we sup posed had become altogether obsolete. The ability to govern and to instruct children is a rare gift in either sex. There is a combina tion of qualities required which is only found among the exceptional men and women of the day, and - Where that combination is found there should be no hesitation in putting it to its fullest use, whether the teacher be male or female. An argument is made that female prin cipals should be admitted, where they are competent for the positions, because they can be permanently retained at lower salaries than will satisfy and secure male teachers. But their admission should not be based on any such ground. It is a very limited con ception of the policy of introducing women to proper spheres of useful occupation, that they can be had at cheaper salaries than men. There is no sound reason why they should be paid less if they do their work equally well. There is but one principle gov erning the law of compensation, and that is that it should be measured by the service ac tually rendered. In the present case, the question of the amount of salary is not in volved. Mrs. McManus receives the same salary that was paid to her predecessor. But this question is constantly introduced into the consideration of female employment, and it is time that it was left out of it. The Board of Controllers will undolOtedly accept the decision of the Court in good faith, and it is to be hoped that the success,of Mrs. McManus in this case will not only prove beneficial to the cause of public school educa tion, but that it will serve ati a stimulus to other women to fit themselves thoroughly for similar positions of responsibility and usefulness. The Eight Hour Law of Pennsylvania, of which a good deal has been said, will be found in another part of this paper. It amounts to nothing, as do all similar laws passed in other States. Eight hours are to be only a legal day's work' where there is no con tract or agreement to the contrary." It does not apply to farm labor by the year, month or week, and there may be overtime or extra work, with compensation as may be agreed upon by employer and employ(:. For all practical purposes, this' Eight Hour Law might as well not have been passed ; and whatever laws on the subject may yet be passed, the question of work, time and wages will still be subject to agreements be tween employers and workmen. DBAXII OF LORD BROUGHAM The cable brings intelligence of the death of Lord Brougham, late Lord Chancellor of Eng land. His demise took place on Saturday last,at his seat near Cannes, France. Few men have occupied a larger share of public attention dur ing the period of a long and qctive life, than Lord Brougham, and few have better illustrated the ability of a determined man with a vigorous intellect to reach high station and groat influ ence despite disadvantages of birth and fortune. Lord Brougham was born in Edinburgh, Scot land, September 19,1778, and he was consequent ly in his ninetieth year. He was the son of Henry Brougham,of Westmoreland, a descendant of an ancient family. The younger Henry Brougham received his odudation at the High School and University of Edinburgh. He was devoted to study generally,but he was particularly remarkable for his fondness for mathematics and the natural sciences. In early youth he was the author of several able papers upon the scientific and literary subjects in which he was most inter ested. After pursuing the study of the law at Edinburgh, he traveled upon the Continent, and was admitted to the Bar of his native city in 1800. Neither his travels nor his professional studies were permitted to interfere with his lite rary pursuits,and he was thrown in constant con tact with the ablest writers and soundest thinkers of his time. lu 1802 ho assisted in starting the Edinburgh Review, and for a period of twenty-five years he was a constant contributor to its pages. Soon after his admission into the Society of Advo cates, in Edinburgh, he turned his attention to politics, and he wrote a number of political arti cles which attracted much notice. He first figured prominently in England in 1801, when he visited London as counsel in an important case which was before the House of Lords. In 1808 he was admitted to the English Bar, and chose the common law courts as the field of his professional exertions. He rose rap idly in his profession, and became equally pro inin,st as a politician, throwing the weight of his talents and energies into the scale for the Whigs. In 1810 he entered Parliament as mem ber for Canielford, and ho at once commenced' a violent opposition to the government. He was in Parliament, off and on, for a number of years, and he was active and earnest in the advocacy of such measures of reform as the abolition of the slave trade, Roman Catholic emancipation, reform in the government of India, the abolition of flogging in the army, the freedom of the press, .ere. In 1820 he Incurred the dislike of George IV„ and *creased the bitterness of the Tory party Against himself by his advocacy of the cause of THE DAILY EVENING 186.8. Queen Caroline.. Some of the epeeehes made by , him during that famous trial are among the finest -efforts ever made in English oratory. Through his exertions mainly a verdict in favor of the Queen was obtained, and the result, while it weakened his influence at your t, added immensely to his popularity with the masses who heartily sympathized with the persecuted lady. Until the year 1830 ho was untiring in his efforts in the Cause of reform, which caused so intense an agi tation during that decade. In the year last named, the Whig party being•in the ascendent, ho was appointed to the Lord Chancellorship of England, in place of Lord Lyndhurst, resigned- With his appointment ho received the title of Lord Brougham and Vans. Lord Brougham .carried his accustomed love of reform into his new office, and the old Chancery lawyers, who were accustomed to the dilatori ness of Lord Eldon, were amazed to wit ness the rapidity with which the now Chancellor despatched business and cleared pp tho accumulations of years of vexations da lays. Such unwonted despatch in this tradi tionally drowsy tribunal raised a clamor in Tory circles that his decisions and judgments wore inaccurate; but a careful review of them proved this assertion to be untrue. In the House of Lords he bore with Lord Grey the brunt of the Reform agitation, and he evinced his disinterested earnestness by bringing about, among other meabures, a reform which had 'the effect of re ducing his own income by £7,000. In November, 1834., the Tories having regained power, Lord Brougham was "retired" from the Chancellorship with the usual pension of .4 0 000 a year. Be continued to occupy his seat in the House of Lords; but he had become somewhat erratic in his course, and ho consequently lost most of his old popularity and influence. After traveling for some time upon the continent he purchased a beautiful villa near Cannes, over looking the Mediterranean, and here, after his ac tive political life, and the scarcely less active lite rary life which accompanied and followed it, he ended his days. Lord Brougham married in 1819. His only child, a daughter, died young. Lady Brougham died some years ago. Lately, the mem ory (of the deceased failed him and he became very weak and childish. The ap pearance of Lord Brougham was uncouth; his figure being tall thin and awkward, and his features, particularly the nose, being un prepossessing. The organ last named Was not only peculiarly shaped, but its owner had a sin gular habit of keeping it in motion when en gaged in debate, and this peculiarity afforded his enemies the opportunity of caricaturing him most pointedly. Those of the readers of the BULLE TIN whose memories run back to a period of thirty years will remember the innumerable cari catures of his Lordship, which always repre sented him in official wig and gown, and which was rendered by the peculiar nose as unmistaka ble as the eccentric nose of Mr. Johnson and the ringlets of Mr. Disraeli mark the caricatures of those gentlemen at the present day. DEATH OF GEORGE T. THORN, ESQ. The many friends of George T. Thorn, Esq., late a representative from the Fourteenth Legis lative district, were shocked, this morning, to learn that ho died at a late hour last night, at his residence in the Twentieth ward. He was taken ill with pneumonia on Thursday last, and death ensued as we have already stated. Mr. Thorn was brought up• at the printer's case, and he worked at his trade until about the year 1849, when he was chosen to represent a portion of the old City Proper in the State Legislature. He subsequently held tha appointment of Mayor's clerk during the incumbency of Mayor Conrad. Ho was appointed Harbor Mas ter by Governor Curtin on the accession of the latter to office, and he held that post until the close of the term of Governor Curtin. In tho Ar tumn l of 1867, be was elected to represent the Fourteenth Legislative District and he was among the most active of the city members dur ing the winter. In politics Mr. Thorn was an original Whig, and he was an active and earnest member of the Republican party at the time of his death. Personally he was an amiable and agreeable gentleman. He was about forty-six years old.

Mr. Sherman—Before the doors are closed, I will submit a motion that I believe will receive the unanimous consent of the Senate. To-mor row will be a day of considerable excitement, and I move that the Sergeant-at-Arms be dhucted to plate hia assistants through the galleries with di rections, without further order from the Senate, to arrest any person that violates the rules of or der. I believe there is an order to that effect now. Mr. Edmunds—lt to a standing order. Mr. Sumner—An intimation to the Sergeant ,at- Arms would be sufficient. The Chief Justice—The Chief Justice will state that the Sergeant-ate Arms has already taken that precaution. Mr. Sumner suggested that notice be given in the morning papers. Mr. Williams suggested that as there will pro bably be many strangers in the galleries to-mor row, the Chief Justice, before the call of the roll, admonish all persons that no manifestation of applause or disapproval will be allowed in the Senate, under penalty of arrest This proposition met with general approbation, and Mr. Sherman withdrew his motion.

Breadatuffs =====l Lowy Bless on the iffn ss lo pac if ic -itssiiilroass-Artoo Cosidincsoil mhos. The Omaha ItepuNicaa of May 1 says: Two conductoret were stint and capthred by Indims, while fishing, a mile, from Sidney Statlon,.on the 29th ult., and the seine day four, men were killed and scalped near Elm Creek Station. , Tharben were at Work on their section, about two miles east of -their section-house, at which resided the family of Mr. Tobin. About four o'clock In the afternoon a party of seven - Sious came along the track from the west. The Indians approached in a friendly manner, shaking bands and talking. This continued for a few minutes, when the Indians withdrew to a distance of four or five rode, and then suddenly drew up their weapons (part of them were armed with guns, and part with bows and arrows) and tired a volley at the.men. No one was hit by this volley. The Indians reloaded and fired another volley. From this second volley an iron-barbed arrow entered the pit of the stomach of Timothy Tobin, and passed through his body,tkilling him instantly. The party attacked were armed with only one carbine, and with this it was • useless to make resistance. So they fled in various direc tions, • the Indiana pursuing and firing as they ran, killing three others of the party, James Welch. Bartholbmew McCarthy and Peter Posen der. Tobin, Welch and McCarthy were Irish men, Fosender was a German, Williams fled along the railroad track,or in the ditch close by it, towards the section house, one Indian pursuing him for abont six hundred yards. It was during this Sight that he received his wound from an arrow. Williams pursued his flight to the section house, where Mrs. Tobin and her two children came out to meet him. He told her , what had occurred. She informed bim that the Indians came from the Platte, which was some live or six miles to the south of the house, which they had probably crossed. They came up to the house, and stopping a moment, drew their weapons as if to rn4e an attack on her and the children. They seemed to do this only , as a scare, however, and taking the railroad track followed in the direction where the men were at work. Mrs. Tobin divined their intentions and feared the worst. Interesting Discovery In. Natural Ills. tory. IfFrom the PortlßO (Me.) ries/. May 9.1 At a meeting'of the Portland Society of Natu ral History, held May 7 a number of interesting statements, in relation to the occurrence of our native plants and animals, were made. The most interesting and remarkable event of the evening was the presentation of a Pteropod, (clione borealle,) a marine animal of the Arctic Seas, which has been discovered by Mr. C. B. Fuller in large quantities in our harbor. This animal belongs to a division of the Molusca called Pteropoda, or "Wing-foot," from the swimming appendages which resemble the organs of flight in birds. Only six species are known to occur on the coast from the Arctic seas to Georgia. They are most abundant in the ex treme Northern or SOuthern oceans. Some pos sess a delicateglassy or horny shell, while the Clione Is entirely naked, and of a consistency not much greater than that of the common jelly-fish. It is a very . singular sight to observe their evolu tions Ina jar of sea-Water. The Clione moves with a deliberate and graceful motion of its wings —almost recalling the action of a dexterous hunaan swimmer. The /Amadora, another Ptero pod observed by Mr. Fuller and collected with the Clione, uses its wings much more nervously, and gambols about the jar like a miniature and half fledged robin. It is not known that the Cliono Lae ever been seen so far to the southward before. Packard reports it as abundant on the coast of Labrador. A Joke with a Tragic Issno• [From the Lynchburg (V a.) Republican.] On Tuesday night a party of seven students of Emory and Henry College, disguised themselves as Su-Kluxes and visited the house of a negro named John Foster, near the college, for the pur pose of scaring him and amusing themselves. Each one had a pistol, two being properly loaded for an emergency and the other five charged with blank cartridges. Calling the negro from his house, the foolish fellows commenced to fire on him with blank cartridges, frightening him, of course, as much as if the pistols had been loaded with halls. Becoming desperate, F6ster finally drew his own pistol and fired at the party, the shot taking effect in the breast of a young man named Henry Pitts, a son of Dr. Pitts, of Abing don, inflicting a very serious it not fatal wound. The students then fired several shots at the ne gro, but did not strike him. They then retired with their wounded companion. TILE VO MTN. Dvarticr Coma—Judge Stroud. Freeman Scott vs. David Griffith.

It is not probable however. (bat either the acquittal or the removal of the President will exert any important influence upon the price of gold or securities, but for the time being the sus. penes is favorable to speculation for a rise in gold, and to stagnation 'on the Stock Exchange.

FIFTH EDITION BY TEL IMPEACHMENT. Great Excitement at the Capital. THE DOUBTFUL SEEIATOREL The Manner of Taking the Vete. FROM BALTIMORE. IVlurderers Senienced The Secret Session. Deppatch tO the Philadelphia Zvening Hulletimi WASHINGTON, May 11.—There-is intense excite ment at the Capitol, and a large number of people have congregated in the halls and corridors to bear sneh news as can be obtained from. the Senate Chamber. • The Senators are very reticent; and most of them adhere to their oath to keep secret what transpires inside the Senate. At 2 o'clock the Senate took a recess for twenty minutes. Dnriug that time your correspondent obtained from a Senator an account of what transpired up to the time of the recess. My first despatch was incorrect in saying that the Senate had not taken any action on. tho for mula of the mode of the questions to be put to the Senate on the final vote. The Senate adopted the following, which the Chief Justice is to ask each Aerator when his name is called: First—Do you believe Andrew Johnson guilty of this article as charged? Second—Do you believe that this constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor? I'.7p to the time of adjourning, eight Senators had spoken under the fifteen-minutes rule. These were Messrs. Stewart, Sherman, Grimes, Hen dricks, Edmunds, Williams, Howe and Morrill of Maine. _ Messrs. Stewart, Edmunds, Williams and Mor rill sustained the articles of impeachment, while Messrs. Sherman and Howe only sustained the second, third, fourth, eighth and eleventh articles.' Messrs. Grimes and Hendricks took sides with the President, and declared him innocent of all the articles. My informant says that all but the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 11th articles are sure to be defeated, enough Senators, having expressed themselves inside the Senate chamber as to leave no doubt bat that the others will be defeated. Messrs. Trumbull, Fassenden, Ross and Pow 'er have not indicated as yet how they wilt vote, though it is expected that Messrs. Trumbull and Feseenden will vote the'same as Messrs. Sherman and Howe. A statement was circulated throughout the Capitol that Senator Trumbull had expressed himself as going against all the articles, but it cannot he traced to any reliable source. It is known, however, that he intends to speak during this afternoon, and the excitement is run ning very high in consequence to know exactly how he stands. The friends of impeachment are not at all dis_ conraged by the treachery of Mr. Grimes,of lowa, although the feeling against 'him is very strong among the lowans at the Capitol. The President's private secretary arrived at the Capitol during the recess of the Senate, and was closeted with Mr. Grimes in the committee•room during the recess. After the recess of the Senate Garrett Davis took the floor in support of the President's inno cence, and was followed by Senator Henderson,, who spoke fifteen minutes against the first three articles, and ceased withou.t declaring or inti mating that ho was in favor of any of the articles. Thir;bas discouraged the friends of impeachment somewhat. The Consolidated Tax BIM WASIIMITON, May 11.
